On #WorldCleanAirDay, let me say this: Even if we can eliminate all CO₂ emissions from fossil fuels with carbon dioxide removal (CDR) deployments (we can't; not even close), we shouldn't keep setting carbon on fire because air pollution from combustion will still kill millions of people every year.

Wittgenstein said his aim in Philosophy was to "show the fly the way out of the fly-bottle."

This is actually something I fear with CO₂ removal (#CDR ). Rich countries will not want to use their own land and renewable energy for CDR, so they outsource it to the Global South. In doing so, rich countries could hinder the development of Global South countries by taking up their resources to remove the CO₂ emissions of rich countries.
Supporting “CDR abroad” needs to be done carefully so it’s not exploitation.

The Pantanal is the world’s largest freshwater wetland and the most amazing place I’ve ever worked. I even saw a jaguar! Human induced climate change is making the Pantanal drier, leading to more severe fire conditions that are destroying countless flora and fauna.

Unfortunately, the drug that prevents HIV infection, lenacapavir, is currently unaffordable at $42,250 for the first year. If it were sold by Gilead for $40 per year, it would still yield them a 30% profit. But I guess that’s not how capitalism works.

Many people think we need to kill fish to get omega−3 fatty acids (sometimes called "fish oil"), but fish simply accumulate them by eating marine algae, so it's possible to get omega−3 fatty acids directly from algae.

We’re making a lot of plastic. In the nearly 70 years between 1950 and 2019, we produced a total of ~9.5 billion tonnes of plastic.
But that's equivalent in weight to the amount of CO₂ we emitted to the atmosphere during the first three months of 2024.

It’s getting warm here because of all the CO₂ we’ve released from burning fossil fuels. 🥵
